Jean & Mike Do The New York Times Crossword
Tuesday, May 12, 2026 — We are seriously chuffed about today's crossword 🇬🇧🇬🇧
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Today's crossword was an homage to "this sceptered isle", which just happens to be one of our favorite tourist destinations. In short, there's no way we can be unbiased, we loved this puzzle!
Other than the crossword, we have another Triplet Tuesday™️ segment for your enjoyment, and Mike's performance was ... a surprise. To keep you in suspense, we won't reveal, at this juncture, whether it was a good surprise or a bad surprise — to ascertain that, you'll need to check out today's episode.
Finally, we wrap it up with some wonderful listener mail pertaining to YUTZ, PUTZ and UTZ (either the start of a bad joke, or the name of a worse law firm, you be the judge! 😀 ).
Show note imagery: John of Gaunt, known for the "sceptered isle" speech as well as his unparalleled accuracy with a phaser 😀
